Pepper

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Pepper - a name that couldn't be more fitting! This young female dog (born in January 2025) definitely has spirit! This young female dog (born in January 2025) wants to experience a lot and of course with the right person by her side. Pepper loves people and wants to be with them all the time. She is always in a good mood and full of life. She is also very athletic and discovers her environment outside. She is quite energetic and enthusiastic, no door is safe from her, and she has only heard of rules in passing. Her new family should work on this together with Pepper, because Pepper is not familiar with this yet. But for this dog, it is simply a highlight to be with her people, so she will surely be able to learn the basic rules for a relaxed dog life quickly. Pepper gets along well with her fellow dogs, but she is still a bit energetic. A first dog would be possible in her home, but she would also be happy as a single dog. Pepper would not like cats and small animals due to a hunting instinct. Children are welcome, but they should be more stable. Pepper is vaccinated, chipped, spayed, and is just waiting to find the right family and start a great, active dog life! So come by if you want to meet Pepper, she is happy about every visit. Interested in Pepper? Has your interest been piqued or do you have any questions? Would you like to come for an introduction? Please contact us!

Pepper Geschlecht: Hündin Kastriert: Ja Rasse: Mischling Alter: 2 Jahre (Januar 2025) Schulterhöhe: 51 cm Gewicht: 19,8 kg Herkunft: Rumänien Aufenthaltsort: PVA Hundeauffangstation 45309 Essen Bei uns seit: 20.Juni 2026 Pepper – ein Name, wie er passender nicht sein könnte! Denn dieser Hund hat definitiv Pfeffer im Hintern! Diese junge Hündin (geboren im Januar 2025) will noch einiges erleben und das natürlich mit dem oder den passenden Menschen an ihrer Seite. Pepper liebt Menschen und will immer und überall dabei sein. Dabei ist sie steht's gut gelaunt und lebensfroh. Noch dazu ist sie super sportlich und entdeckt draußen ihre Umwelt. Sie ist in ihrer Begeisterung durchaus aktuell noch sehr stürmisch, keine Tür ist vor ihr sicher und von Regeln hat sie höchstens mal im vorbeigehen gehört. Daran sollte ihre neue Familie gemeinsam mit Pepper arbeiten, denn das kennt Pepper natürlich noch nicht. Sich mit ihren Menschen zu beschäftigen ist für diese Hündin aber einfach ein Highlight und so wird sie sicher schnell die Grundregeln für ein entspanntes Hundeleben lernen können. Mit ihren Artgenossen ist Pepper gut verträglich, auch hier noch etwas stürmisch. In ihrem Zuhause wäre ein Ersthund durchaus möglich, aber auch als Einzelhund wäre sie rundum glücklich. Katzen und Kleintiere fände Pepper, aufgrund eines vorhanden Jagdtriebs, nicht so gut. Kinder sind willkommen, sollten aber schon standfester sein. Pepper ist geimpft, gechippt, kastriert und wartet nur darauf, bald die passende Familie zu finden und in ein tolles, aktives Hundeleben zu starten! Also kommt gerne vorbei, wenn ihr Pepper kennenlernen möchtet, sie freut sich über jeden Besuch. Interesse an Pepper? Wurde Ihr Interesse geweckt oder haben Sie noch Fragen?

About Pepper

What life with Pepper looks like

Pepper is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Pro Vita Animale e.V. in Essen.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pepper, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pepper?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pro Vita Animale e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pepper on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pepper if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pro Vita Animale e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Pepper already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Pepper isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Pro Vita Animale e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pepper and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
